During the holiday period, Māori Land Court offices will be closed from 3pm, Wednesday 24 December 2025 and will reopen 10am, Monday 5 January 2026.
Due to limited access to the building, the Auckland Information Office is available by appointment only. Please contact us by email at mlctamakimakaurau@justice.govt.nz
